Now that the holiday shopping frenzy has begun, two Florida doctors suggest giving the gift of good health by giving cookies.

You heard that right. Cookies.

These cookies aren’t the kind left out for Santa—the ones loaded with sugar, butter and flour. These cookies contain all good stuff — loads of omega-3, calcium, fiber, vitamin D and are gluten-free with less sugar than an apple.

The Omega Cookie, created by Dr. Bo Martinsen and Dr. Anne-Marie Chalmers of Ambo Foods, LLC in Venice, Fla. has grabbed national attention by winning fans and awards for its innovation. Each Omega Cookie contains 2000 mg EPA/DHA— the equivalent of eating a salmon dinner or taking seven capsules of omega-3 fish oil. The cookie holds 41 patent claims.

Omega-3, found abundantly in fatty fish like salmon and tuna is linked to preventing heart disease, lowering triglyceride levels and relieving joint pain.

Today, several cookie products on the market tout omega-3 content. However, Omega Cookie contains 20 to 80 times more omega-3 EPA/DHA than the leading omega-3 cookie or cereal contenders.

“Getting enough omega-3 fish oil is vital,” said Dr. Martinsen. “The studies showing that omega-3 can help promote cardiovascular health typically use 2000 mg of EPA/DHA every day. If you get less than that, your chance of experiencing any benefits is greatly reduced.”

“The gift of good health is priceless,” said Dr. Chalmers. “These difficult times have many of us re-evaluating what is important in life. Good health, our family and friends — these are the things that really matter.”

Why not give your loved ones a gift they can really use — a box of Omega Cookies that can lead to a happier, healthy body.

Ambo Foods is a physician-directed company with headquarters in Venice, Florida. It was founded by Bo Martinsen, MD, a native Norwegian, and Anne-Marie Chalmers, MD, an American who studied and lived in Norway. Both physicians have extensive clinical and research backgrounds. All cookies are baked in their facility in Venice, Florida.
